(RNN) - One major aspect of the Affordable Care Act is that it makes preventive care for those insured under Marketplace private insurance plans, free - which means no co-payment, coinsurance or deductible.

However, if you are insured by a private carrier that was grandfathered into Obamacare, the rates will most likely still apply and could possibly increase.

Preventive care is comprised of a vast number of services, and under Obamacare it is broken into three categories: services for adults, services for women and services for children. Each service, no matter which category it's in, is a screening, vaccine or some type of counseling service.
